The Lord is My Shepherd

Jean Davis
I picture Jesus holding a lamb.

That little lamb is me.

He has me cradled in His arms.

There is no safer place I could be.

Sometimes I squirm and jump out of His arms.

He's disappointed, no doubt.

He watches as I try to go on my own. He knows; what I soon will find out.

The world can be a dangerous briar thicket, full of thorns and deep ravines.

The Shepherd has His shepherd's crook to pull me back

He's always on the scene.

I would be so much better off if I ask His advice and permission

on any venture I want to make.

If I get His blessing first I won't have to fear any path I take.

So, Father in Heaven, I'm asking You to help me understand Your plan and will for me.

Help me to stay within my Shepherd's arms.

The safest place I can be.

Also read the 23rd Psalm from your Bible.
